With so many of the well-established, and most famous names in Burgundy reaching very high prices, a good strategy is to find young producers, early on in their career, and follow them as the rise through the ranks. That way you can secure great wines, regularly, at much more reasonable prices. Phillipe Pernot is one such producer, who like Stephane Magnien began his domaine in 2009, and has since vastly improved quality with each new vintage. He’s also in line to inherit some fabulous plots from the family domaine in due course. Philippe’s wines are made for pleasure, they deliver power and richness and masses of satisfying drinking. A longer elevage in barrel in recent years has seen these wines grow in stature and length.
